Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The epiphyseal plate, also known as the growth plate, is the area of growing tissue near the ends of the long bones in children and adolescents. Each long bone has at least two growth plates: one at each end. The growth plate determines the future length and shape of the mature bone. Once growth stops, the epiphyseal plate becomes the epiphyseal line.
